The MIC and DAP have accused each other of being the troublemaker during an incident on April 3, the nomination day for the Machap by-election.
The MIC Youth alleged that DAP members had assaulted their members. It had reported the matter to the Election Commission.
Movement chief S. Vigneswaran said he would also lodge a police report on the alleged assault, claiming that opposition members also used vulgar language against MIC Youth members.
He also accused the DAP of bringing along some non-DAP members, adding that one of the alleged attackers wore a T-shirt bearing the emblem of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and was also carrying the PKR flag.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday, Vigneswaran, the Youth and Sports Ministry parliamentary secretary, denied that he was at the scene of the incident.
Meanwhile, DAP legal bureau head A. Sivanesan dared Vigneswaran to prove his claim that the DAP had brought non-DAP members to cause trouble.
Sivanesan said he would quit his party positions if Vigneswaran could prove this within three days. Otherwise, he said, the parliamentary secretary should quit the post.
